Koji Iwano, Naohisa Takagaki, Ryoichi Kurose and Satoru Komori. 2013. Mass transfer velocity across the breaking air–water interface at extremely high wind speeds. Tellus B 2013, 65, 21341, http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/tellusb.v65i0.21341
Three velocities of u*, U 10 and U ∞ were mistakenly overestimated by 9~19% in the evasion experiments. The mass transfer velocity k L and correct velocities listed in Table 1 should be used in all figures excluding figures 1 and 7. The correct correlations of eqs. (9), (10) and (11) between velocities and mass transfer velocity should be replaced by:
Fig. 10
Comparison of k L against U ∞ between laboratory and field measurements. Symbols and lines as in Fig. 8. A solid line shows the correct correlation curve of eq. (11) normalized to Sc=660 for the present laboratory measurements.
Table 1. Mass transfer velocity and correct velocities
Eventually, the correlation between k L and U ∞ almost corresponds to the correlation curve of Wanninkhof and McGillis (1999) at high wind speeds as shown in the correct figure 10.
